Talk:Kingpin (automotive part)

King pin on semi-trailer truck[edit]

This should probably be rectified with the "king pin" definition for semi-trailer trucks, and the redirect for fifth wheel. FWIW, I have yet to determine exactly if that meaning uses two words or one. ENeville 16:22, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ford and the kingpin[edit]

This source says it's very unlikely the fact ever happened--82.76.37.57 12:37, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, it's not a metaphor, it's a simile. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.247.254.6 (talk) 04:35, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Rename page?[edit]

I'm trying to find consensus for renaming "(mechanics)" pages, where "mechanics" refers to machinery, mechanisms, mechanical devices or mechanical engineering, rather than (e.g. classical) mechanics in physics and applied math. I would like to rename this page to "Kingpin (mechanism)" or "Kingpin (mechanical device)". Any preferences or objections? Geometry guy 20:43, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since this article relates to vehicles other than automobiles, should it be renamed to Kingpin (vehicle part)? GoingBatty (talk) 18:13, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Caster[edit]

How does king pin angle relate to caster angle? They look the same to me. Stepho talk 23:07, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
